Remove the comforter cover when it is dirty and zip all zippers. Place it in the washing machine and set the washing machine to a cold, gentle cycle.

Remove the comforter cover from the washing machine and shake it vigorously to remove wrinkles.

Place the comforter cover into the dryer and set the dryer to a low temperature.

Remove when the dryer cycle finishes and place the silk comforter back inside the comforter cover.

Silk is a soft, luxurious fabric that is produced from the secretions of silkworms. Silk is also a delicate fabric that can easily be ruined if not cleaned and cared for properly. Oil-based stains, such as those from hand lotions, can be cleaned from silk garments and sheets without the need for a professional cleaning. The products required can be found at your local grocery store or in your kitchen’s pantry.

Remove any remaining lotion by wiping it away with a paper towel. Avoid smearing the lotion more and try to remove the lotion with your fingers and the paper towel.

Lay the silk piece flat onto a table or ironing board.

Sprinkle the affected area with talcum powder.

Allow the talcum powder to sit for 12 hours or overnight. The talcum will absorb any of the oils from the lotion that have been worked into the silk.

Soak a cotton ball with dry cleaning solution.

Dab at the stain with the dry cleaning solution. Do not rub the stain with the solution as this will work the stain even farther into the fabric.

Allow the solution to sit for two to three minutes. Remove the solution by dabbing at it with a cotton ball that has been soaked with plain water.

Despite its reputation as a dry-clean-only fabric, silk has tough fibers that can stand up to ironing, which means a big savings over getting your garments dry cleaned. You may use an iron directly on silk fabric and a steam setting on heavier silk fabrics. The sheen that develops on silk fabric is a reaction between the silk fiber and heat from the iron, so silk manufacturers recommend ironing on a low heat setting.

Iron the garment or fabric inside out (or wrong side up), or lightly press the silk using the iron through a press cloth placed over the right side of the fabric.

Hang the garment on a clothes hanger to cool down before wearing or storing

Tips & Warnings

Silk clothing that cannot be turned inside out (such as neckties) should be ironed using a press cloth over the fabric surface.

Always test iron silk in an inconspicuous spot before ironing the whole garment.

Do not allow water from the iron to get onto the silk fabric to avoid water stains.

Woollens and silks keep you warm and looking elegant through the winter months! The onset of summer requires packing away of woollens and silks until the next winter season. Here is a step by step guide on how to protect your woollen and silk garments the natural way. But before that you need to understand why these clothing need an extra bit of precaution while storing.

Understand the need to pack woollens and silk properly

Ever wondered why you have to pack your woollen and silk clothes in a special manner? There are many reasons; and the same are explained below –

• Garments made from silk and wool don’t come cheap. It would cost you a tidy sum if you were to buy winter wear at the beginning of every cold season. It is therefore better to be prudent and store them well so they can be used again in the next season. Unless of course you don’t mind spending big bucks on an entire new wardrobe.
• Silk and wool are both natural fibers. Clothes made from natural fibers are vulnerable to infestation by clothes moths. Clothes moths are of different kinds and they all destroy silk and woollen fabrics. It is actually the moth larvae that feed on these fabrics if safety measures have not been taken to preserve them properly. The larvae eat the clothes, leaving small holes there by destroying the clothes, making them unfit for use.

Preparation before storing garments

Garments cannot be stored away as they are. You will be inviting trouble if the clothes are not properly cleaned before being packed away. Even if the clothes look clean you still need to go through the process of cleaning them before stowing them. There will be dead skin cells, food and dirt particles invisible to the naked eyes present on the clothes which will attract clothes moths. So follow a thorough cleaning procedure that will remove all residues and make the clothes absolutely clean.

• For home washing woollen garments use a detergent specially designed for such clothes. It is mild and does not spoil or altar the texture of the garment.
• Ensure that the woollens are completely dry and ready for storage.
• If you want to wash the woollens the eco-friendly way then use soap nut seeds for the washing.
• Alternatively you can have the woollens dry cleaned, which is as effective as hand washing.
• Silk is a delicate fabric and generally not washed at home.
• Have your silk sarees, shirts, ties, dresses, salwar suits dry cleaned at a reputed drycleaners.

Once you’ve washed and dry cleaned the clothes you are ready to stash them away. A few pointers that you need to keep in mind at the time of packing –

1. Pack your silks and woollens separately.
2. Segregate light colored clothes from darker ones, in case colors bleed.
3. Check for any rusted embellishments on the clothes, such as hooks, buttons etcetera. Remove if you find any as they will leave rust marks on your clothes.

You will need the following items for storing your clothes until next season –

All or any one of the items mentioned in the list from 2 – 5 can be used for keeping your garments safe. The reason why I am insisting on sun dried products is so there is no trace of moisture left in them. Moisture can cause mold to grow which will spoil your clothes instead of protecting them. If it is rainy weather and you can’t dry the items in the sun, then place them in an oven or microwave for a while just so the moisture gets removed.

Method used for storing clothes

• You can either use a steel trunk or an almirah or bed box or a suitcase for storing your winter clothes.
• Avoid using an inbuilt cupboard, which can get damp during the rainy season if there is seepage in the walls, as the moisture can then transfer to your clothes.
• In case you have no other option, then throw some silica gel sachets in the cupboard for it to absorb moisture.
• Assume you are using a trunk or a suitcase, line the bottom with either neem leaves or whole chilies or both.
• If using red chilies use just a handful.
• Spread a muslin cloth over the ingredients in such a way that it covers the entire inside of the box with ample length hanging out of it.
• Place your clothes on top of the muslin, keeping heavy clothes at the bottom and lighter ones above them, so the weight of the heavy clothes does not squash clothes at the bottom.
• Make small sachets using a bit of muslin and place lavender and pepper corns in them.
• You can use them in combination or alone.
• Strategically place these sachets between clothes while you are packing them. You can use around palm sized sachets in the packing case.
• When the box is full, fold the overhanging piece of cloth over the packed clothes such that they are completely enclosed.
• Spread some more neem or chilies on the top, close the lid and secure the box.

When you open the box after a few months, you’ll find your clothes intact just the way you left them.

Advantages of natural ingredients over chemical products

The method of storing clothes is tried and tested and has been in use in my family for at least four generations. I advocate this method of storing clothes as it is a green initiative, which I endorse.

• Using natural ingredients is always a better option as they don’t leave a carbon footprint.
• Natural products are easily available.
• Moth balls or Naphthalene balls can cause allergic reactions in susceptible people.
• Naphthalene balls disintegrate with time and will need periodic replacement.
• They also tarnish sequins, ‘zari’, ‘gota’ and other gold work done on silk sarees.
• Moth balls can also react with the dyes used in colouring the fabrics, fading them unevenly, in blotches.

Let’s count how much time a day we spend on the bed, I mean sleep. There should be eight hours, right? More or less. Obviously, we spend almost one third time on sleep, the bed, comforters and pillows accompany us the most time. The quality of sleep directly affects our work and life. I believe all of you have the same experience with me.

If you wake up one morning and find that you could not move your neck and get back pain, also you feel tired, it would be necessary to consider whether it is pillow’s problem.

The cervical vertebrae is on the top of human spine, consisting of seven vertebrae in the neck inside. These seven piece of vertebrae form a sleek arc toward the front, while the role of the pillow is to maintain the normal physiological curve.

How to maintain the normal physiological curvature, it is necessary to look at whether the level of softness and shapes of pillows you choose is really appropriate.

It is said that all diseases start from the spine. Take care of your spine, and you will be healthy. While the role of the pillow is to ensure that the physiological curvature of the neck is not deformed during sleep. Selecting those pillows in line with the ergonomic design is beneficial to cervical physiological curvature of the spine and paraspinal muscles. Inappropriate choice of pillows has a direct impact on people’s sleep. A research said that the French scientists found that the insomnia even give a negative impact on people’s sex lives.

So what kind of pillow is appropriate?
It seems unscientific to say “peaceful and healthy to lie on a high pillow”. If your pillow is too high, you can not maintain the normal cervical lordosis curvature of sleep, no matter what position you lie, it will increase the burden on the cervical spine, which often lead to a stiff neck.
As you wake up, you feel neck pain, headache, dizziness, tinnitus and insomnia or numbness in hands and feet, it is likely pillow’s problem. If you feel ache in your neck and shoulder, it is because of your low pillow or no use of it. If the pillow is too low, it will cause head congestion, swelling of the eyelids.

The experts say that Whether you lie on your back or your side, you should choose pillows to allow the neck to keep the normal physiological curvature.
Generally speaking, adults’ height is about 8-10 cm when you lie on your back, 10-15 cm height when you are on your side. Due to various physiological structure Of each person, physiological cervical curve is different. We should take some time to choose your healthy and suitable pillow, to give you a peaceful and sound sleep.
